If you start a new chat with users that you have chatted with before, it will continue in the same thread unless you have renamed the chat.

When you start a chat, the recipient must accept or reject it.

You can transfer a chat to F2 for the purpose of registration.

Two types of chats

There are two types of chats in F2 Messenger.

Chats with individual users

In chats with individual users, you cannot add additional users. If you want to chat with multiple users, create a group chat.

Group chats

Group chats involve three or more users. Create group chats in the same way you create chats with individual users.

You can leave a group chat that you do not own. You become the owner of chats you create.

Go to chat settings to see all chat participants.

Chat list

When opening F2 Messenger, you see a list of the chats you are a part of. Use the search field at the top to filter the list by chat name or participant name.

The chat with the most recently received messages appears at the top of the list. If there are unread messages, a notification icon is displayed next to the chat. A green circle indicates that one or more users in the chat are online.

The profile pictures that appear in F2 Messenger chats are transferred from F2. This means that you must have a profile picture in F2 for it to be displayed in F2 Messenger.

Notifications

In F2 Touch, a notification appears on the F2 Messenger icon when you have unread messages.
